Iranwire – Six Baha’i believers were detained on Sunday and transferred to Kachuei Prison in Karaj to begin serving five-month prison sentences.
Mona Zakaei, Naghmeh Mirza Agha, Mahin Sa’adatmand, Mahshid Sefidi, and Samar Masoudi, along with Naser Rajab, were summoned to the Enforcement of Judgments Branch, where they were taken into custody and transferred to prison.
All six are Baha’i residents of Karaj.
Branch 12 of the Alborz Court of Appeal sentenced each of them to five months in prison, totaling 30 months collectively.
They also received two-year bans on leaving the country and on engaging in social activities.
The sentences were reduced from the initial 10-month prison terms and two-year travel bans issued by Branch 2 of the Alborz Revolutionary Court on charges of “propaganda against the government.”
The six were summoned to Branch 21 of the Karaj Revolutionary Court on July 6, 2024, where the charges were presented. They were later released on bail.
